Gesa (I need a break 2 create)

We don’t need to keep buying new things when everything we need is already here; it just takes a little imagination to transform it. Passionate about upcycling and reusing, Gesa carefully selects materials and chooses environmentally friendly dyes and paints to reduce waste.

Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond their own work as they actively seek collaborations with other artists and local businesses to strengthen their community.

Through this mindful approach, they cultivate a slower and more intentional way of making and allowing the process to guide them toward something new.

Gesa is a queer, non-binary and proudly neurodivergent artist dedicated to transforming reclaimed materials into vibrant, gender-affirming creations that celebrate and uplift their community.

Rooted in a deep appreciation for upcycling, their work is a joyful act of resistance – turning the ordinary into the extraordinary while centering queer and trans experiences.

With every piece they create, Gesa imagines a world where joy, identity and sustainability go hand in hand.
